These days in New Orleans, the first part of Carnival Season is “ball season” where parading organizations have their annual balls (masquerading optional), and social clubs have their debutante balls. I was asked to participate in the Young Men of Illinois debutant ball one year but my dad looked at the bill and said no, because as someone else said in this thread, these days a lot of balls are just displays of wealth and “showing off” the daughters and not necessarily a huge rush into the marriage scene anyway. As an alternative social “coming out”-style event, in the late 90s it started becoming more popular for girls to get together for joint Sweet 16 parties and attending those events was more impactful and comfortable to me than the elitism of debutante balls.
ОтветитьSeason 2 please!
ОтветитьI love the idea of scheduled formal community events for young people to meet and have fun but those events should not cost that much money.
ОтветитьMeat market. Wealthy families using their daughters as a way to secure or increase wealth, status, power, property for a son to inherit or for a kingdom to afford the biggest military forces. The down side? Inbreading. Inherited diseases, veneareal diseases.
Ответить“Doomed to a life of destitution” the (primarily) women who owned breweries or cheese making shops: “LMAO! Girl stop!”
ОтветитьA “trans man”, in other words, a woman.
ОтветитьIt's MAR-kwess. The French pronunciation is spelled Marquis. They're two different titles in two different countries.
ОтветитьYour video is interesting but you should have checked the pronunciation fo Devonshire (20.09)... it's not as in "to sire" but as in " Hampshire".
Ответить❤👍👍👍🙏
ОтветитьOMG the “Valley girl” narration is sooo pronounced …
like, gag me with a spoon
A nine year old is not a young woman Those royals have always been pedos.
ОтветитьI learned so much today :D
ОтветитьWe just watched all of Bridgestone and now this helped make sense of the whole process
ОтветитьAbsolutely ludicrous that couples had multiple children but only left money to 1.
ОтветитьAmericans marrying into British nobility must have reduced inbreeding and improved genetics.
Ответитьwhich accent is this?😂
ОтветитьJust a tip for next time, Vauxhall pleasure gardens is pronounced like 'Vox-Haul'. I'm not even sure what the second one you said was, but I think your pronunciation was slightly off. Fabulous video though, can't wait to see more :)
ОтветитьWoah! Only the eastern states have deb balls in Australia. Not here in the west
ОтветитьMy stepdad mom suggest
I register as a contestant.
I too had an opportunity
to join a debutante. I
really had no interest
in participating in that
society.
I wanted to pursue a
hair style model. As I
was told by a fashion
designer. My height
denined me a model
back in the early 1970's.
Followed by joining
the U.S. Army Services.
Oh my I feel bad for all those ladies….what a stressful life this must have been and I can only imagine it was even harder if one wasn’t blessed with beauty
ОтветитьThere were plenty of women who ran their own businesses in the mediaeval period!
ОтветитьThe reason there were more unmarried noble girls then men is also to do with the shorter time span women had for marriage. Unless you were independently wealthy and had lands of your own, it would be harder to arrange an advantageous first marriage after your daughter got to about 25. The prime age for marriage was considered to be 15-22.
Meanwhile, men could hold off marrying until their 30s and beyond. And provided they had wealth, status and land, there would be no shortage of marriage options.
and Mexico has quinceañeras
ОтветитьAmazing but little known fact. It was the famously extravagant and opulent Marie Antoinette who first ditched the suffocating and inard damaging corsets and multi layers of clothing in favour of light, breezy muslin and silk and straw hats in her childish escapes to the "farm" at Versailles. You know, fresh milk, strawberries, petting zoo. ❤
ОтветитьThank you this was so interesting!!
Ответитьur voice is so annoying
ОтветитьThe Dutchess of Devonshire was not "Georgie-ana", despite the spelling. Her name was pronounced "Jor-Jayna". Also "shire" is pronounced as "shur"(aka: Devon-shur). I understand that you're not British and I am not trying to be disrespectful but given the number of videos you make on British history, I think it is important to learn the correct pronunciations of names and places. 😊
Ответитьglad i wasnt born in that era 😌
Ответитьthis is a great video thank you so much. You said after World War I and the flu pandemic so many young people died that priorities shifted amongst the young. I wonder if we will see any shifting of priorities now, post Covid pandemic. Have we seen anything shift yet? I do think people have become less willing or able to find places in the real world to converse. Everyone is just alone on their phone, wherever they are.
ОтветитьThe word "lappet" is pronounced "LAP-et." You are pronouncing it "Lap-ET" as though it is spelled "lapette." (I looked it up in the dictionary.)
ОтветитьThe name of the province is pronounced "Bur-GUN-dy." The wine is pronounced "BURR-gun-dy."
ОтветитьWe still have debutante balls in Australia. They were revived in the 1980s, and I participated in the first held in my town in living memory in 1983.
It was very formal, and nothing like a high school prom.
We also have a formal dance in the last year of high school, which is dissimilar to a debutante ball.
Am I the only one who got a Bridgerton ad when I clicked to watch this video?😂. Talk about perfect timing
ОтветитьSo, is Quinciañeras a way to debutante in Hispanic countries? A girl turns 15 and has a ball like party, with big princess dresses!
ОтветитьHope it goes fast
ОтветитьCool
ОтветитьVery good. Thank you.
ОтветитьWow! What an informative video! Loved the narration and content!
Ответитьthis debutant stuff is my worst nightmare personally, however, as a history lesson, it's fabulous...great video and great research. thanks so much mrs. lindsay
ОтветитьFWIW, in a number of medieval European countries, women could and did inherit property. Also, the vast majority of women worked...and at least partially supported themselves. (Some, particularly widows, wholly supported themselves, as they didn't have any other choice.)
ОтветитьThis woman who narrates this video, HAS THE MOST ANNOYING VOICE. I had to stop watching, couldn't stand her nasal voice🙄
ОтветитьWhat’s stupid voice. Content incorrect.
ОтветитьSo fascinating!
Ответитьa pleasure garden sounds a lot like a music festival
ОтветитьI’m 43. I was a debutante when I was 18. Born and raised in the south. It was just a thing. Wore a white (wedding) dress, full length gloves… the whole nine. My date wore white tie and tails. I absolutely HATED that my parents made me do it lol. That kind of thing was never ever my vibe. I was invited to do a larger one the next year and I refused…
ОтветитьA woman was the property of her father until she married, then she became the property of her husband. So glad I live in modern times.
ОтветитьThank you, that was an excellent, enjoyable presentation. You’ve put a lot of time into research, thank you.
ОтветитьSuch a well made video essay!
